Deskripsi

Adoption research has a well-defined position in the development studies of all the scientific disciplines. In this study an attempt has been made for comparative visualisation of extent of adoption and economic impact of different NARS rice varieties among the adopters in Indo-Gangetic Plains. Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal were selected purposively in the study. From each of the selected states, four districts and from each district two adopted and one non adopted village were selected randomly. Further from each village 30 respondents were selected. Total 1170 respondents were selected for the study. Extent of adoption and economic impact has been analysed for improved NARS rice varieties over the years with primary cross-sectional data collected (during 2016) for the previous five years (2010-11 to 2014-15).
